Deacon Benny Tiller

A Living Testimony

In 1996, Benny Tiller's life took a turn that would forever change his path. Facing incarceration, he found himself at a crossroads that many never return from. But in the darkest moments, faith became his guiding light.

Over the next three decades, Benny didn't just serve his time—he transformed his life. Through prayer, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to becoming better, he discovered his true calling: helping others find the same path to redemption.

Today's Mission

Thirty years after that pivotal moment, Deacon Benny Tiller now serves his community in three powerful ways:

• Deacon – Providing spiritual guidance and leading worship in his faith community
• Homecare Provider – Serving those in need with compassion and dignity
• Volunteer at Local VOA Men's Shelter – Mentoring men facing the same struggles he once knew

As Founder & CEO of UNITY Foundation, Benny has built an organization rooted in the belief that every person deserves a second chance. The foundation brings together faith-based resources, community support, and practical assistance for men rebuilding their lives after incarceration.

The UNITY Vision

UNITY Foundation isn't just about providing resources—it's about restoring dignity, rebuilding families, and renewing hope. Through programs like S.A.A.L.T. (Stillness, Awareness, Action, Learning, and Transformation) and Living Testimony Men's Ministry, Benny and his team offer:

• Faith-based substance abuse recovery support
• Mental health awareness and counseling resources
• Housing, employment, and financial guidance
• Community mentorship and spiritual fellowship

Benny's story is proof that transformation is possible. His journey from incarceration in 1996 to community helper in 2026 demonstrates that with faith, support, and determination, anyone can rewrite their story.
